Recently bought Woody Shaw’s Love Dance. Sounds great. Really impressive reissue. In the sleeve notes, Woody refers to being inspired to feature the title tune having heard a version recorded by Ramon Morris, in a quintet version. Anyone know the LP? Anthony

Maria Schneider: Thompson Fields

It's pretty damned good.

My most favourite jazz master

Here's one of my early favorite "Smooth Jazz" dates.

Also he did one side of an Lp with Brubeck (IIRC the other side had Lee Konitz.)

Somebody get Ella an Anacin!

Mark Knopfler - Privateering

I just looked, never noticed that before. Thought Reid Miles just didn't like someone if he designed an album sleeve listing you as "etc." 😁

It's worth seeking out, produced very well. A treat was to hear Marshall Allen speak, I've never heard him in a interview before.

Been meaning to pick this one up. Thoughts? Been meaning to pick this on up too! How is it?

Hey, I'm warmed up. I spend time on a cryptic crossword forum that has competitions to write cryptic clues for a given word. Today's word was TAEKWONDO and I managed to work in WANKED [Wanked too vigorously for kicks (9)] before seeing this thread.

Pharoah Sanders “Love is Here” disc 2

I don't think we all do agree on the roots and therefore not the fruits. Hell, I don't think there's agreement on why it was popular, because there was not a single "type" of fan, just as there was not one single type of product

I need to pull that CD from the shelf & give it a listen.

Or a seminar or podcast or teaching session or whatever. The point is do you direct people to it or not. And not the roots (which I think we all agree on); the fruit. Commercial jazzes 1977 - 1993 or whatever.
